A Next Step Towards Gender Parity for Women Directors

Women and Hollywood: A couple of months ago there was a big meeting at the DGA addressing the issue of the lack of opportunities for women directors. It took about a year to organize and was met with a positive response. But positive responses don't necessarily mean action. In order for there to be real change and for women to get more opportunities there needs to be significant institutional change not only at the DGA, but also in the industry. That will take a very long time, even though there have already been women pushing and pushing for decades. It's not that this is a new issue. It's been going on for decades.
